The Truth of Magic

Chapter 648 Scroll of Abyss

From the end of the meeting, Zhao Xu contacted Antinoya with the "SMS technique" and expressed his willingness to have an interview with her.

Fortunately, Antinoya was in Arthur's main world at this time. After hearing his needs, she directly used advanced teleportation to come to him.

Zhao Xu also revealed all his adventures in the whole wave of undead and the subsequent mysterious cave.

Strange cave, Arthur Dragon Crystal, the mysterious old man Ying Bubai, mage personality, Nine Swords, Sword of Military Way, White Crow Iron Heart Flow, Human Paradise, Elven God and Death, Recasting Sword, Killing Man-made Death, Guide Survivors get away.

As he spit out key words one by one, Zhao Xu also reorganized his trip to the cave.

It's only a few days, but the actual experience is thrilling, and many players may not be able to catch up with the adventure experience of seven or eight months.

But Zhao Xu was a little surprised at that time.

Hearing that he had mastered the "Power of Iron Heart", Antinoya was neither sad nor happy, and remained calm.

Hearing that he had killed the "artificial god of death", Antinoya raised her eyebrows slightly.

Even at the bottom of the cave, who claimed to be her father's "Win Bubai", Antinoya curled her lips in disdain, as if her ears were dirty when she heard it.

Only when he relayed that the first owner of "Human Paradise" was "Elf God Corellon", Antinoya shook her body slightly.

Under Zhao Xu's organization, the high-level players who came out of the cave returned to explore again, and found the dragon crystal vein according to the route he designated.

At this time, more than a thousand people are planning how to plan a suitable "mining" route, and transfer those dragon crystals to the ground at the lowest cost.

After Antinoya heard that he had this idea, and when the heavy rain was about to fall and caused floods, she urged him to hurry up and take out the previously agreed treasure with her.

It's just that Zhao Xu couldn't guess that he was going to take out the treasure after all his calculations. He had to strengthen the static panel of his body first.

You know, Zhao Xu's six attributes have already exploded at this time.

Strength 53: 8 Innate, 6 Enhanced (Divine Power), 5 Intrinsic (Manual), 30 Nameless (Decline), 4 Holy (Righteous Wrath).

Dexterity 26: 13 Innate, 4 Augmented (Siren), 5 Intrinsic (Manual), 4 Divine (Charismatic Mind)

Constitution 17: 14 Innate, 5 Intrinsic (Manual), -2 Unnamed (Death Pact)

Intelligence 29: 16 natural, 6 enhanced (hood), 5 intrinsic (wish), 2 nameless (upgrade)

Perception 19: 14 Innate, 5 Intrinsic (Manual)

Charisma 30: 13 Innate, 4 Enhanced (Siren), 5 Intrinsic (Manual), 4 Divine (Beautiful Mind), 4 Profaned (Devil's Pride).

Although, as a spellcaster who relies on divine magic for food, it is a bit embarrassing to have the lowest perception and physique, but this value, especially the power, is enough to make people doubt life.

Because of the fact that the bonuses of the same name could not be superimposed, the only thing Zhao Xu could strengthen at this time was the "enhancement" bonus.

Both Strength and Intelligence are enhanced by 6 points, and the rest of Charisma and Dexterity are enhanced by 4 points through the Siren's Grace spell, while Wisdom and Constitution are not.

On the one hand, the "Power of the Bull" and "Cunning of the Fox" that players are most often exposed to, such as spells that increase 4 points of attribute enhancement, are just at the minute level. .

Therefore, unless the majority of players can have the "spell persistence" like Zhao Xu and master the "divine power" and "siren's grace" spells at the same time, the most direct way to increase the enhancement bonus is to equip.

But equipment would occupy the equipment slot, and the magic item to improve the physique was the talisman slot. Zhao Xu already had the "Time Reversal Talisman" and "Ascension Cross", which couldn't be filled at all.

Therefore, he was also extremely curious about the way Antinoya improved his attributes.

Method in "Abyss"?

Zhao Xu couldn't help raising his eyebrows slightly at this, and instantly understood why the other party wanted him to be fully armed.

His knowledge (plane) skills directly retrieved everything about the "Abyss".

Most of the outer planes have extremely complex plane spaces, and it is not uncommon to have several layers of space. This is also a characteristic that is very different from Arthur's main world.

Generally, plane transfers point directly to the first layer of the corresponding plane.

And the prefix of the bottomless abyss itself is - "infinite layers", no one knows how many layers the abyss has, even the most famous demon lords in the abyss "Grazet" and "Demogogan" , "Ocus", and "Fraz Elu" only occupy one of the layers, and some demon lords even have to share the same layer with other powerful ones.

But these levels of the Abyss all have one thing in common, that is, in the criss-crossing world, from the air to the water source to the ground, all exude a highly poisonous stench.

The topography of each layer seems to be designed to create endless pain and suffering for any traveler passing through here.

Different from other planes, these planes of the abyss do not have a "main road" to connect them, and each layer has a portal or passage gap leading to a certain layer.

However, due to the "chaos" characteristic, these interconnected level passages are also constantly changing, like clay sculptures that are constantly reorganizing.

Everything in the abyss is changing according to the chaotic nature, and even the demon lords don't know how many times they have changed.

The only thing that never changes is the "bloody battle" with the devils in hell in the "gap of blood".

One side of the blood gap is permanently connected to the first layer of the nine hells, "Avernas", while the other side is connected to the bottomless abyss of different levels at different times. The demon lords will continue to send their "new recruits" "Join the everlasting battle.

Antinoya noticed Zhao Xu's sharp eyes and asked curiously, "What's the matter, are you afraid of the abyss?"

Zhao Xu smiled wryly and shook his head, "Although I can be considered to have made friends with several powerful demon lords in the abyss, for some reason, I don't have any bad feelings for the abyss itself, even though I know it is the hometown of demons .”

"Then do you know the history of the abyss?" Antinoya said suddenly.

And Zhao Xu looked at his knowledge and skills above level 40, and searched for a certain abyss lord, and he was able to retrieve some hidden gossip, such as Cang Ye, the mother of Tanari, who lived on the 471st floor. She couldn't even accept that the creatures who stared at the true face would die directly.

Another example is ridiculed as "two-headed baboons", the demon lord "Demogorgon" with two heads each has its own personality, and they often don't get along very well, but they can give this demon prince Tactical advantage of both creatures.

In this way, sometimes Zhao Xu retrieved all the knowledge about the abyss, and felt the magic of this plane more and more.

However, at this time, whether it is his knowledge (plane) or knowledge (history) skills, when he tries to retrieve the past of the abyss, all he gets is a fog, even if there are only a few sentences written.

Ordinary people hit a wall when using knowledge and skills. It is more difficult to obtain knowledge that is too high, but the level of knowledge is too low. This kind of mismatching difficulty.

But Zhao Xu often hit a wall because of the "knowledge" he retrieved, even the "knowledge origin" that recorded countless knowledge, he didn't know much.

Because knowledge itself requires "existence", if no one in Arthur knows that piece of knowledge, and there is no actual archived record, then knowledge and skills cannot be retrieved.

At this time, Antinoya saw that the heat was about the same, so she directly explained.

"The chaotic nature of the abyss makes it enough to disrupt everything, making it the most unmatched force."

Zhao Xu also smiled, "Because this world is essentially 'entropy increase' and is heading for chaos?"

"Whatever you think about this point, this is the way of existence of the abyss and the embodiment of will."

"Zhong Xia, remember, one day in the future, the abyss will be your greatest help. In other words, you will find..."

Antinoya suddenly lost her voice when she said that, but she didn't panic, and still stared at Zhao Xu, "Even the lords of the abyss, and the oldest abyss lords, don't know the specific number of layers of the abyss and the positions of each layer. features of the face."

Then a mysterious inscription began to appear in front of her.

The words that flowed with golden light even hurt Zhao Xu's eyes so much that he almost couldn't open them.

"And now you memorize this inscription for me."

After hearing this, Zhao Xuming couldn't open his eyes, and still quickly looked directly at the "golden inscription" displayed by Antinoya——

The bottomless abyss.

The first floor, Pazunia, Lord Papazu.

The second floor, the perforated hive, Lord Talzaks.

The third floor, the forgotten land, the lord Zeixesia.

...

Forty-fifth floor, Lawwind, Lord Graz'zt.

Forty-sixth floor, Shadow Sky, Lord Graz'zt.

Forty-seventh floor, Watts, Lord Grazette.

...

On the sixty-sixth floor, the pit of the magic web, the lord of the spider goddess Rose.

...

The 600th floor, the endless labyrinth, the lord of Beast Howl Lord Baphomet.

...

Zhao Xu looked all the way down, only to realize that these were the specific names of each layer of the abyss and their corresponding rulers. Even after the names of these rulers, there was a string of complicated "mysterious symbols" that Zhao Xu could not recognize. ".

Antinoya also read Zhao Xu's confusion and explained, "After the names of the lords are their respective original names and the core inscription of the entire plane, you can understand it as the key corresponding to each layer .”

Immediately, the corner of her mouth overflowed with blood, dripping down her chin to the ground.

"tutor!"

Zhao Xu exclaimed for a moment, and then stepped forward, leaning on the other's shoulder and looking directly at her pale face at the moment.

From the eyes to the originally rosy cheeks, there was no trace of blood, as if she was a Sleeping Beauty frozen in an ice coffin.

The last time Zhao Xu saw such a weak Antinoya was after she returned from going to the Nine Hells with "Pale Justice" in spite of the old man's advice.

Zhao Xu's healing spell popped up instantly, and then calmed down again.

He already understood that this was no longer a problem that spells could solve.

"Teacher, the words just now cost you a lot?"

Zhao Xu asked.

At this time, the golden inscriptions that emerged have slowly disappeared, but both of them knew that with Zhao Xu's intelligence of nearly 30 points at this time, basically any content could be memorized in a single glance, just like turning on the camera all the time so-so.

"Don't worry about me, revealing the secret of the abyss, the impact is already the slightest."

Speaking of which, Antinoya showed a bitter smile, "The text I'm showing you is the beginning of the 'Abyss Scroll'."

"The Scroll of the Abyss?"

"That's right. According to the legend, all the volumes about the secrets of the abyss are written and recorded. It is placed in the bottomless realm of the 'Abyss', the final place that no one can reach according to the rumors."

Zhao Xu, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback, "But isn't the abyss heading for chaos? Then won't the content it records become outdated?"

Not to mention, those lords alone don't know how many appointments.

And Antinoya shook his head, "It's not just that simple, that book will faithfully record all the secrets of the abyss, and once it changes, it will change in real time."

"Just like the 'final scroll' can record all the spells that Arthur has appeared in real time, even if a mage makes a breakthrough and researches a new magic, it can also record it truthfully. This is also one of its immortal powers."

Hearing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He seems to have grasped the key thread in the dark.

"And what's even more amazing is the opening chapter I told you. As long as the abyss changes, the memory in your mind will also change."

"This is where its real power lies." Antinoya couldn't help coughing a few times as he said that, and he could already hear the hoarseness.

"The Tome of the Abyss was placed there later, so it also has readers, and even has an imitated artifact—Aham's Tome of Darkness, that will be discussed later."

Zhao Xu couldn't help being surprised, "Then the content of the Abyss Scroll has been spread not long ago. Because of its own content characteristics, there is no other knowledge that is more advanced than it."

But Antinoya shook his head.

"To understand the contents recorded in the Abyss Scroll, one must digest all kinds of incomparable chaotic plane power, and one will even be assimilated by it if one is not careful."

"It's possible to become an ordinary piece of scorched earth in the abyss, or reincarnate into the worst Tanar'ri Demon, or even the legendary Balor Demon."

"But there is no doubt that for the vast majority of people, it is impossible to even read the first sentence of a complete version of the 'Volume of the Abyss' in front of them. Let alone reading, just seeing the title page, It will directly become a chaotic camp."

"It is rumored that some gods read it and died directly. The corpse is still drifting in the astral world. Be wary of latecomers."

Speaking of which, Antinoya showed a nostalgic look, "Even with my outstanding talent, it was the teacher who spent a lot of time at the beginning, and he only relayed a small part to me."

"At that time, the power of the abyss that leaked out of it had already been filtered by him for more than 90%. And I just showed this text, and it was also the impact of the power of the abyss that made me so weak."

After listening, Zhao Xu couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Then why did I read it through without any obstacles?"
